    Default Another finished landscape - this time of Monument Valley, AZ
    I've been working on the pattern for this for a long time, and found that the more simple I made it, the better I liked it. In the meantime, a friend showed me how he paints "Moons and planets" with spray paint. I adapted the technique to painting on fabric, and added glitter spray as well. It was nice to make use of a piece of fabric that I painted and thought was really ugly. Now I like it, and it all finally "clicked" in my mind. The plants are stitched by machine, then I hand bead them with seed beads. I finished 3 more last week, but wanted to share it anyway....

    Thanks for looking!

    That's really beautiful! I agree with "simplicity" of it.
